Nearly 1,000 people in Mexico City demonstrated over the weekend in favor of Israel and its war effort.

Supporters waved Israeli flags and carried signs reading, “Forward Israel!”, “Israel is Attacking in Self-Defense”, “12,000 rockets in 8 years is not enough? It’s plenty!” and more.

Israel’s Ambassor to Mexico, Yossi Livneh, addressed the Israel-supporters and explained the importance of Israel’s anti-terrorism campaign.

In Odessa, Ukraine, local Jews held a pro-Israel rally on the street in front of the Jewish Cultural Center. Shlomo Ben Tzvi, from the Israeli Embassy in the Ukraine, addressed the participants.
